Smartphones are an increasingly important part of the mobile phone market. They are small and very efficient and you can find them at all pri
ces. In my opinion they have two weaknesses, battery and fragility. Especially because of their screen that covers the whole phone. We all know someone around us with a broken screen. The slightest fall can be fatal to them, a crack in the screen and it's the end, a very diminished comfort if you do nothing. It's a far cry from the sturdy phones of CAT or the old Nokia.Il th
ere are several types of protections, the shells, the covers and the cases. For my new phone, the Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 I decided to try an official case from Samsung, the Flip Wallet Cover Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 color Sapphire.
The test
The case is probably the most elaborate protection. The first advantage of this Samsung Flip Wallet Cover may be obvious to most, but it's specially designed for this phone model. Bespoke and very well suited for handling. It is very nice to touch, it is made of synthetic leather that looks to be of good quality with a sturdy structure. Y
et, despite its solid appearance, it is very thin and very light. The case itself increases the thickness of the phone by about 2mm, 1mm on each side. With the A3 that is 7.3mm thick, the phone-case doesn't exceed 10mm thick.
On the sides there are clear plastic reinforcements to hold the phone firmly in place. They are hard plastic and arranged so that if the phone falls on a flat surface, the edges of the phone are not in direct contact with the ground. But on a non-flat surface such as pebbles for example can damage the phone a little more on its right side. On the other hand, the fact that the side is free, one has access to the button to turn on the phone and the compartment of the nano SIM card and the microSD
card.Towards the bottom, the plastic also does not interfere access to the various connectors of the
phone. On the left side the phone is completely closed. On the case, there are the symbols – and – at the buttons for the sound adjustment. It is therefore easy to use its buttons through the case which is flexible enough.
The front valve is totally opaque, it does not allow you to see the screen, however it contains a credit card compartment or other card of similar size. There's room for one or two cards without genes. Convenient for a credit card or a transit card for example. Samsung
's Flip Wallet Cover allows you to use the phone's wake-up/wake function. When you open it the screen lights up and when you close it the screen automatically shuts off.
Conclusion
Samsung's Flip Wallet Cover case for Galaxy A3 2016 is a very good case. Both sober and elegant, ensuring good protection for the phone. It fits perfectly into the shapes of the phone and is convenient with its card compartment and wake-up function. I recommend it for all owners of a Samsung Galaxy A3 2016.
